Help! Not Enough Buttons! (Fire/Dual Blades)

Take anything you don't use often and relegate to a tray that you can click on. Most armors, mission transporter, etc.

Decide which buttons you hit regularly or need to be able to hit quickly frequently. Even on my dominator I find that isn't much maybe 14-16 max.

Number the powers you chose from 1-whatever with the order of use

List the keys you use for your power in order of comfort to use. Eg which keys can your hand reach most easily, which are a bit of a stretch.

Match the two lists. I personally would learn to turn with a mouse for more precise control as well but that's just an aside to, how do you bind your powers.

I'd say you have a lot of powers you really don't need on the tray or, you really don't necessarily need bound so you can immediately hit the button.

It's mostly guessing. I wasn't trying to offend. I personally use a different setup so I have to kind of guess and just gave a general recommendation to binding. Generally looking at an mmo players screen I probably consider about 1/2 to be too cluttered, that might be a me thing, I'm a minimalist when it comes to screen real estate.

For example, I'd toss all your grey buttons, I'd pull with taunt when it was required or I'd make someone snipe it if a true pull was needed. Again, I'm not saying your way is wrong, only that I hate buttons with very situational uses.

You have jump pack and super jump, why? An honest question, how often do you use rest especially on a fire. Do you really need another melee attack that is unslotted for sands? Your answer to all these might be "YES I NEED!" but they're good sorts of questions to ask when thinking about cleaning up your ui.

Shrug, anyway. It was really just answering in general how to clean up your tray. And like the guy with a garage he can't put his car in I always suggest that people not hoard and decide what they really need. That is mostly up to you.

Depending on your key set up you might want to try moving any button you just rarely click on ala rest, maybe your portals, to a side bar and your toggles to another one. Kind of of like blacks screen. That way you've filed your abilities so to speak.

Your screen, what you feel comfortable with. Just my 2c

I had a similar issue back when I was playing a Ranger on Aion (my basic rotation had about 13 abilities, and then there were the situational and buff abilities on top of those, plus targeting keys and consumables). I changed my gaming setup to the following:

Keyboard: Wolf King Warrior

Mouse: Razar Naga

My Aion Ranger came very close to needing more buttons than this setup allowed, but nothing since has even come close to taxing the number of buttons I have in my setup.

Unfortunately, as I was searching for links for my setup, I found out that not only is the Wolf King Warrior off the market, the company doesn't even exist anymore. There are still some out there in online shops, but they've jacked the price up several fold (original MSRP was $30 USD). I don't know offhand what other gaming keyboard options are on the market right now, but that may be a viable avenue in your search for more buttons.

What I do is the ones I use the most IE attacks/travel/taunt I have in trey 1, the toggles for def i put in trey 2 anything else that i do not use often I put in trey 3, I do not have a Screen Shot of it atm but I will later tonight after work. But it works out great for me.

Everyone seems to have their own set-up. I use my mouse to steer by holding down the right button, while using only W and S for forward and back movement. Then I have easy reach to the number buttons for my main attacks on 1-7 in Tray 1.

I also have a Razer Naga Mouse with 17 buttons, so I bind powers on long recharges to buttons on the mouse. I use CityBinder to manage my binds, which makes it easy to set up a standard pattern for my binds. Since I use the mouse to steer, all of the buttons on the mouse gives me easy access to 11 buttons for powers (I save three for travel powers).
